What a great show. Are you guys on any other streaming services? Also I was wondering why Powell gets so much hate from the younger generation? I just recently got back into skating with my son and while talking to him about the flight decks he turned his nose up and said he would not skate a Powell. Haha.

They have a lane, it’s just not with the modern street skater. Thieir shit is stuck in an ancient era, and didn’t do anything for the longest time to stay relevant. They are going the KZbin route now, so they will hopefully pull some of that revive/ braille crowd.

No for real, Premier is in my top 5 shops for the State of Michigan, and I often shop online services with them. They always include a sticker, they always ship in 1-3 days from purchase, and they include a packing slip in your box where they write a message of being grateful for supporting locally owned. I also heavily appreciate Olympia , in Ann Arbor on 4th street, I also heavily appreciate Brush Alley in Flint Michigan, now located on Saginaw street, lastly I’d like to mention Skaters Advocate, Modern Skate and Surf, Refuge, and Exodus. Plus is huge if your from the Farmington Hills. All are excellent.

@@deadonarrival2882 Chris redden is… was and has been a huge influence on my life. He was always upfront and honest, and evidently pointed directly in the direction of where I needed to be all along, and never the less I ended up where he said I should be and I’m grateful for everything he’s given me. From time in the shop, to conversations over ramen noodles with locals, to shop videos and a mini ramp. Everything I asked for, I ended up getting and again, I can’t thank him enough for that. Similarly, Thomas and Cheetah too have both played their own roles, and I’m appreciative of them as well. Never to mention Austin Williams. By the way I did just buy a Herbert Brown DOA board for my wall from them.

full disclosure. i do often modify shoes as needed like adding cardboard or doubling insoles as needed. i got some screw mid vulcs, 2 pair for $46 total shipped, and they were kind of uncomfortable in stock form. really thin insoles and lasting board material so you could feel the ridges of the mold pattern on the topside of the vulc sole. i modify shoes anyway, and for the price i couldn't complain. if they were $75/ea i might have been a bit bummed, but ultimately an easy fix and not a big deal.
@diplenski5 күн бұрын
i've never really been brand loyal to the point that i would get offended on their behalf. it's much simpler - was i happy with the quality/performance of the product for the price i paid? if yes, and i continue to buy them, does it consistently meet or exceed expectations? i can share my positive experience to offer a counterpoint to your negative opinion, but it's not that deep. i've never been disappointed with a soletech product, not even once in 30 years. that said, the only es shoes i've ever had were og koston 1 in a few different colorways and they were sick. especially the navy/gum. mostly etnies, at least 7 pairs, and maybe 2 emericas in the brief window when etnies name went away like '97ish. i'm sure nostalgia plays a part, with the etnies pages in ccs '94 being so sick. scams in red, white, baby blue. screw mid. raps, mc raps, and several others. they could have only made those shoes forever and killed it in my opinion. they looked sick and skated well. consistently comfortable, durable, quality materials, fair price. i'm sure the ads and videos played a part, seeing tom penny, rodney mullen, sal barbier, and others wearing raps. it's a good-looking shoe, the precursor to accels, very similar paneling.

i love the comments episodes <3. i wasn't saying zumiez is my go-to for product, but sometimes i like to go in and look around. sometimes i buy something. when i have, it's been positive. i can almost always get a second sale deck for $20 with deck purchase. i'm frugal by nature and circumstance, so it's usually mail order direct from distributors or maybe like skate warehouse or something whenever i see a good deal. i'm in central/southern DE. i'll look into the places you've listed but tbh, i don't think i'll need any gear for years. you've seen how long i skate my shoes 😭 same with decks/gear, i'm not really a board breaker even for a bigger guy but i'll skate them until they're razortailed to nubs, or slid through a ply or more here or there.

Those Rick clips you played. That spot is right down the street from my house in Pittsburgh. I’m not from here, moving soon, so not plugged into the scene really. But I recognized the spot as somewhere I had driven by while watching this shops video, place is called Radio. Still meaning to go in there lmao. Anyways I skated there a few months before that Lakai footage came out. It was rougher / harder to skate than it looked, and my knee was hurt, so I didn’t do much but was stoked to see Rick Howard skating it. I’m originally from rando town in the Midwest so the only other spot I have skated that pros have skated was a local school that Toy Machine team skated after a demo in like 98 - practically an urban legend. Has anyone suggested you review shop vids? I’d watch it. Start with that Radio one the Pittsburgh spots are crazy rough can’t believe kids skate them so we’ll.
